Using SkyDrive with Office 365 SkyDrive works like an online storage site, where you and your team members can access, edit and share files, depending on your permission levels. To get to your SkyDrive site, click the SkyDrive link at the top of your Office 365 home page.

Creating a document with Web Apps Editing and uploading a document With Office 365, you are able to create, edit and access documents from wherever you are. Your shared documents are stored on your team site with SharePoint or on your SkyDrive, depending on which one your company uses.

Creating a new document

To create a new document from your SkyDrive site using Office 365 Web Apps:

Navigate to your SkyDrive site by clicking the SkyDrive link at the top of the page. Click the new document link on the page

The Create a new file menu opens. Select the appropriate Web App for the file (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) you want to create

On the Create a new document window, insert a name for your document and click OK

The selected Web App opens. You’ll notice that the Web App uses basically the same functionality as a desktop based version. Go ahead and create your document

Save the document by clicking the Save icon at the top left of the screen. If you wish to save a local copy of the document, click File → Save As → Download. If you are prompted, click Save. The file is downloaded into the default folder where your other downloads are usually stored

To navigate back to SkyDrive, click your name in the top right of the screen

Your new document is listed in the document SkyDrive folder you chose

Hint: If you need to use a feature that is not available in the Web App, click the Open in Word tab on the Ribbon. The tab will change depending on the Application you are working in. Remember, if you work locally, you will need to have the desktop version of the application and you will need to save and upload the document to SharePoint or SkyDrive.

Editing a document

To edit a shared document:

Navigate to the folder on SkyDrive where the document is stored and click on the document

The document opens in a relevant Web App. Click Edit Document and select Edit in Word Web App from the menu (note that the name of the App will change depending on which one you are working in)

Your document opens. Edit your document When you are finished editing your document, click the Save button.

Remember that if you are working in a local version, you need to save the document by clicking File → Save As, and selecting the SkyDrive location that it needs to be stored in. If necessary give your document a new name and then click Save. Your document is saved to SkyDrive

Uploading a document to SkyDrive If you created a document locally or simply want to add an existing document to a folder, you can upload it to SkyDrive.

On SkyDrive, select the Folder that want to upload the document to. Click the Files tab on the Ribbon and select Upload Document; or click the + new document link on the page and select Upload Existing Document from the contextual menu

Click Browse… and find the file you want, select it and click Open → OK

If you want to upload a file from a desktop version of Office, open the file in Office and click File → Save As and select to upload to your SkyDrive. Click Browse and select the folder on SkyDrive that you are uploading the document to – then click Save
